Chapter 234: Experiment, Part 2

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Trent asked, his typical concern evident.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I think." I shook my head and paced farther into the room. "Look, you told me I needed to figure out my feelings, and I am."

"Okay," he said slowly as he remained leaning against the door.

"But I need your help with something." I flexed my fingers so they'd stop trembling and walked back toward him. "And you can't say no."

He tilted his head, eyes narrowed. "What do you need my help with?"

Of course, he wouldn't just agree. That would be too easy, and nothing about Trent or our relationship was easy. "I need you to kiss me," I said.

"Kiss you?"

I nodded and took another step closer. "Yes," I whispered. "I need you to kiss me like you used to. Please." Did I sound as pathetic and needy as I felt? I hoped not.

Trent shoved away from the door, and my breath hitched. "Like I used to, huh?" he said, his voice a sexy whisper.
